Abstract

Based on observation, the writer identifies the following problems at the seventh grade students of SMPN 1 Samigaluh, the researcher found some factors that influence student’s speaking skill. Thus, this study investigates about the simulation technique in the process teaching-speaking. It used an experimental design involving 32 students in the experimental group and control group. The instrument used was the speaking test (pre-test and post-test) that was given to both groups. The experimental group was given the treatment using simulation technique, while the control group used conventional teaching. Based on the result, the researcher calculate using SPSS that shows sig/p = 0.00. It was smaller than 0.05 (0.02< 0.05), so there is significant difference between students’ speaking skills before and after using simulation to the seventh grade students of SMP N 1 Samigaluh in academic year 2017/2018. Moreover, the simulation technique could help them to improve their speaking ability.

The aims of this study are (1) to find out the problems of the students in writing, and (2) to find the effective ways of teaching applying semantic mapping technique in genre-based approach to improve writing skill for the tenth graders in SMK Nasional Berbah, Sleman. The study belongs to classroom action research. The object of this research was class X TP of SMK Nasional Berbah, Sleman. The researcher used semantic mapping technique that was combined with genre-based approach to resolve the students’ problem in writing. The researcher used qualitative analysis.

(2) The effective ways of teaching applying semantic mapping technique in genre based approach consisted of four stages. (a) In BKOF, the researcher showed the picture about Parts of Motorcycle and drilled about specific words to the students. (b) in MOT, the researcher gave example of recount text and also some questions related to the topic. (c) in  JCOT the researcher asked the students to make a list of main points and developed each point into some sentences. (d) in  ICOT, the researcher asked the students to write a recount text individually based on their own ideas. The result of this study showed that semantic mapping technique could help the students to generate ideas, develop students’ ability in writing, and increase the students’ knowledege.
